So don't just write off a UoP Grad because we work hard, juggle many aspect of our lives, have to deal with learning teams and have great writing skills once we have completed our programs.

I feel we have been well educated and are ideally suited to succeed and help our company's succeed.

I have had nothing but positive things to say about the University and the MBA program and will stand behind my education 100%.

I would hire a UoP Grad in a heartbeat.

You should too.

I don't mean to sound rude by does anyone respect an MBA from UoP?

MBA from university of phoenix is like getting a GED

Good for you Debi! Keep doing your thing! University of Phoenix so far has been really good to me so far and I am learning alot from this University! If anything is wrong with the College, I haven' t experienced it yet.

Debi Piccus you now work for the university of phoenix. Haven't you learned about how one must be somewhat objective when rendering opinions. Obviously those who are paid by UOP think it is a great school.

Do large accounting firms recruit from UOP? HELL NO!

LOL

That is a somewhat prestigious undergrad and a nice campus.....

I don't advocate doing a Masters program through UOP; but often you can get an undergrad done (especially with transfer credit) much quicker through UOP than you can a traditional school, and that might mean the difference between a promotion from $43k per annum, to $60k. It might mean the difference between getting into the military as an officer this quarter or having to wait a year later.

For *most* majors, what you did/didn't learned has nothing to do with what you get paid at your job.

ElPadreAmaru, you should gather by now that getting into grad school has little to do with what you've learned in your undergrad and more about test scores and GPA. Many people take grad schools that have nothing to do with their undergrad. Why do you think so many people wanting to get into many professional schools take easy majors like Psych, Soc, History, etc.. as opposed to Physics, Engineering, Chemistry? GPA!

Too bad UCLA isn't teaching you about REAL LIFE.

[teiladay]

The largest thing (for most schools) that affect you getting into a good grad program is GPA and standardized test score(s) (GMAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, etc..) The rigor of your undergrad is considered, but unless you're a math/science major or went to a school known for zero grade inflation, "rigor" isn't pales to your life experiences coupled with the all important test scores and GPA. If you have a 3.8 or higher and in the 90% on MCAT/LSAT/GMAT/GRE.. you're sitting REALLY pretty on your apps!

Sheesh kid, are you really in college and don't know this stuff? (sigh) Let me educate you. Say you got an undergrad in Woman's Studies from UCLA w/a 3.0 GPA, and you made 152 on the LSAT; Someone else got a degree at UOP (doesn't matter what) with a 3.8 GPA and made 172 on the LSAT. All else being equal- they will get into a better law school before you will. What you learned in your undergrad program doesn't mean squat to getting into grad school. You should know this already :(

[ElPadreAmaru]

What the hell are you talking about?

You're trying to say as long as you know the stuff you're in?

What gives you the idea that UoP actually prepares its students accurately?

[teiladay]

I meant to say "score 172 on the LSAT" I accidently put MCAT, but anyone with a clue about standardized exams knows what I meant :) .. so this edit is for the clueless ;)
